New Seven Wonders Of Nature
The New7Wonders of Nature campaign started in 2007, immediately after the campaign to elect the
man-made New7Wonders of the World, in which more than 100 million votes
were cast. From over 440 participants representing over 220 countries
and through a national qualification and race to become one of the Top
77, as well as the recommendations of the Panel of Experts led by Prof.
Federico Mayor, the list of 28 “Official Finalist Candidates” was
determined.
The Amazon Rainforest And River
The Amazon of South
America is the second longest river in the world and by far the largest
by waterflow with an average discharge greater than the next seven
largest rivers combined (not including Madeira and Rio Negro, which are
tributuaries of the Amazon). The Amazon, which has the largest drainage
basin in the world, about 7,050,000 square kilometres (2,720,000 sq mi),
accounts for approximately one-fifth of the world’s total river flow.
Also, it is very important to mention that this river flows through
seven countries: Brazil, Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia, French Guiana,
Peru and Suriname.
Ha Long Bay (Vietnam)
Ha Long Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a popular travel destination,
located in Vietnam. The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and
isles in various sizes and shapes. Ha Long Bay is a center of a larger
zone which includes Bái T Long bay to the northeast, and Cát Bà islands
to the southwest. Ha Long Bay has an area of around 1,553 km2, including
1,960–2,000 islets, most of which are limestone.
Table Mountain (South Africa)
Iguazu Falls (Brazil, Argentina)
Iguazu Falls are water falls
of the Iguazu River located on the border of the Brazilian State of
Paraná and the Argentine Province of Misiones. The falls divide the
river into the upper and lower Iguazu. The Iguazu River originates near
the city of Curitiba. It flows through Brazil for most of its course.
Below its confluence with the San Antonio River, the Iguazu River forms
the boundary between Brazil and Argentina.
